We Speak Playground

Ground coverings play an important role at playgrounds. The ground coverings help to provide cushioning on the asphalt or concrete surface that playground equipment sits on. This helps to cushion and protect children's joints as they jump to the ground from playground equipment and helps to provide a bit of cushioning should they fall from the equipment.

There are many different options that are available for playground ground coverings, including mulch, sand, grass, rubber and artificial turf.

However, although it may not be as exciting as the structures themselves, the type of surface used is every bit as important and should be carefully considered when designing a new playground. The options should be researched, discussed and worked into the budget and overall design.
